— ■ The Oregon Voter, which has not
yet announced its support of Gen
Martin, democratic candidate for gov­
ernor, but in its editorial comment!
continually leans that way, appears
to believe that communiât Pete Zim­
merman may help Joe Dunne, repub­
lican candidate, by hfe (Zimmer­
man’s) non-primary entrance into the
gubernatorial race.
- .
As there are about twice as many
república» registered in Oregon as
there are democrats, furnishing
a
much larger source of supply of ultra­
radical voters, it would seem that
Zimmerman’s
non-primary
entry
would help Martin more than it would
Donne.
Party ties rest so lightly, however,
that anything may happen in Novem­
ber, although it is unthinkable that
a Red can be the choice of as enlight­
ened a commonwealth as Oregon. :
Following is the way the Voter
reasons as to why Martin may be
defeated:
Wild Pete Zimmerman is such a
frothy ranting radical that he is not
likely to win enough support to elect
him governor. Yet he may be a real
factor in the result. For, with Port­
land Journal shouting day by day that
its candidate, Gen. Martin, favors
most of the radical policies espoused
by Zimmerman and formerly espoused
by Mahoney, it fe conceivable that
conservative republicans will run to
Dunne in November even as so many
of them ran to him in May.
With
only Dunne against Gen.
Martin,
Martin would have a chance to win
tens of thousands of conservative re­
publican vote*. With Wild Pete dally
on the front page of the Oregonian
and Gen. Martin on the front page of
the Journal, both as champions of
public ownership and various other
New Deal extravagancies, and with
News-Telegram giving its vigorous
support to Dunne and the Oregonian
defending him, Dunne may be recog­
nized as the one place for conserva­
tives to go if they want to be sure of
beating Wild Pete.
Zimmerman’s radicalism will be
confirmed to conservatives not only by
his own harangues but by the support
he will receive. Ho will not only be
supported by Sam Brown, Ray Gill,
Mort Tomkins, Doe Slaughter and th*
rank and Ale of the Grange but by the
radicals among Organised Labor and
by the rank and filo of members of
the Socialist and Communist parties.

Evidence of the return of prosperity
is to be seen in the fact that the rail*
of the Southern Pacific track« through
Coquille are far more shiny than they
were a year or more ago. At that
time they were streaks of ruiX"
Until recently it has been the prac­
tice of the publk to make a highway
of that part of the Southern Pacific’s
\ real estate that lies
immediately
north of the atetion building. Now,
in the way that leads off from the
Coast highway, a barrier has been
set up by the railroad company con­
sisting of a series of »o’ts made from
steel rails. The moat valiant truck
driver will now hesitate before try­
ing to smash his way through these
posts. Recently a truck driver came
near running over Agent Frank Pook
when he stepped from the north door
of the station on to the company’s
property. On top of that the driver
of the truck gave him a bawling out
for getting in his way. Coquille is
not yet ready to lose this accommo­
dating and officiant official. It ia not
intended to infer that the barrier was
put up for Mr. Book’s personal safety,
but it may nevertheless be helpful
along that line. Coquille will be will­
ing to lose Pook only when its loss
will be his gain through promotion to
greater responsibility for the company
he has served for so many years.
An automobile moving at a speed of
80 milea an hour covers a distance of
88 feet in a second. Thu* it becomes
a potential projectile of death weigh-
ing *n where from 1500 to several
thousand pounds. A man would not
ba permitted to walk along a highway
with several sticks of dynamite in
his pocket, no matter how expert he
might bo in the careful Handling of
that explosive. As a matter of fact
it is less dangerous to the public than
the automobile travelling at an ex­
cessive speed. The record shows that
excessive speed is the chief cause of
automobile fatalities, but their num­
ber continues to increase in spite of
all regulatory laws. It may yet be
pecessary for government to go into
the automobile factories and place a
limit on speed within the mechanism
itself. The trouble ish’t due to every­
one being really in a hurry. It’s the
sport of the thing.
But all other
iports are under uome sort of control
-hat gives safety to the puMic. The
tory is told of a judge in Chicago
who, finding that penalties for -reck-
nessneas fail of effect, sent three
youths arrested for traffic violations
o alt in the city morgue to keep
watch with the dead and be impressed
with the possibilities of their disre­
gard fdr life and limb. It is hoped
-.hese examples of the judge's sentence
will be kept under observation for a

Outside of the Bible, says William
Lyons ~
Phelps, the words, “To be or
not to be” are the six most famous
words in all of the literature of the
world. Elucidating upon the thought
of Mr. Phelps an editorial writer in
Portland Oregonian says: ‘Tn these
words are the mystery, the beauty,
the tragedy and the yearning of life
and death. They cannot but ring
down through the ages, until the last
ice age has mown the last city, and
man aits on the ruins of the Empire

at the sky, *To be or not to b9f’ ”
Mr. Phelps hasn’t told us what
words in the Bible he regards as more
famous, but doubtless there are many.

The Oregon oupreme court has up­
held the validity of the legislative act
of 1933 regulating advertising by
dentists. In the opinion of the court,
written by Justice Bolt, it is pointed
cut that 32 states of the union make
it unprofessional conduct for a dentist
to make any advertising statement« of
a character to deceive or mislead the
public, while many ntates have laws
covering the subject of advertising
similar to that adopted by Oregon.
More than 1000 Oregon motorists

principally reckless

believed
here to be merely the forerunner of
a general shake-up in the commis­
sion’s personnel. McMorran’s resig­
nation was no surprise. ■ In fact it
had been expected and was freely
predicted in connection with the
recent controversy between the gov-
ernor and the comm io« ion over at-
tempted «alary increases for em-
....-
ployees of the commission. At that
time, it will be remembered. Governor
Meier sharply rebuked the commis­
sion for the salary increases and dl-
rected that they proceed to set their
organisation in order and give closer
attention to the introduction of econ­
omies- in overhead expenses.
The
commkvion countered with a letter
to the governor in which the execu­
tive was charged with “unwarranted
interference" in the affairs of the li­
quor control board. That al) has not

organisation. First outward

resignation of Aaron Holts as the

lowing a tiff between Holts and Geo.

lowing premature ptfblicstion of a
retail liquor price list prepared by
Holts and which Sammis promptly
disowned as coming from the com­
mission. As McMorran’s resignation
was no surprise, neither would it be
mirprlsing if Alex Barry should fol­
low the lead of the commission's
chairman, and quit. Nor would it be
surprising If Sammis should sever
his connection with the comm'oiion
“by request” from the governor's
office.
With the approach of the season of

has availed himself of his authority to
